Well, presently, they're statist, sometimes fascist, and always authoritarian neoliberals and neocons (neoTrotskyites). The overt, "lets starve everyone and collectivize the land and dissolve property," is not really a thing today. Communism, such as Bolshevism, Maoism and Stalinism, excluding neotrotskyism, which is held in high regard by many of the neoconservatives is a thing of the past.

There are other covert means to control a society. Erasing private property, will instead, be imposed coverty via the devaluing of currency, increase in property tax and in all tax for that matter as well as ever increasing licensures and trivial, petty laws.

The goal is to keep wages low enough or stagnant enough whilst the currency continues to devalue just slow enough to control a society into bondage and debt, whilst not imploding to cause chaos.

To be honest the US is corportocracy fueled through crony-capitalism, not true free market capitalism, but by monopolization, oligopolies and price fixing/market capture.
